Kelly Moore x A Beautiful Mess *new* bags!

Today we have a SUPER exciting announcement. We have teamed up with Kelly Moore to create a camera and laptop bag that can be worn as a bag or a backpack! Our bag features gold hardware and comes in four colors—tan, gold, blush and black.

I personally prefer to wear it as a backpack. I have been taking mine on trips the past few months and it is so comfy and convenient. It’s a bit smaller than a regular camera bag, so I didn’t feel awkward using it as a purse or carryon bag.

Each bag comes with a matching shoulder strap and two canvas backpack straps. You can wear the bag either way, or change it depending on your needs. Our goal with the design of this bag was not only to create a super cute bag that can fit all your stuff, but also one that makes carrying around all your stuff (camera, lenses, laptop, etc.) a little bit easier on your shoulders and back—which is why the bag has options for how you can carry it.

We’ve also had a number of photographer and blogger friends try out the bag, and so far we’ve only heard rave reviews—which makes us so happy! We can’t wait to hear what you think too! Check out the shop site for a video we created showing off our new bag, all the colors, and its features! We can’t wait to hear what you think and see you with your bag in action. Hooray! xo.

Lovely! I have been looking for a backpag/shoulder bag with removable straps for grad school! Can you tell me if in addition to the laptop, would a 3″ binder fit in the bag (assuming the camera accessories separator was removed)? If so, could it be zipped? Would a novel or two and a small notebook fit?

Hi there! I am OBSESSED with this bag and convinced that it’s the solution to my ongoing gear/laptop bag fiasco! My only concern is that I have a 15″ Macbook – I saw someone comment on the site that their 15″ laptop fits if they undo the side clasps. Is there any way you can confirm this?
